APPLY: Abel Visiting Scholar Program for Mathematicians from Developing Countries 2018/2019
The Niels Henrik Abel Board and the International Mathematical Union invite applications from mathematicians professionally based in developing countries to visit an international research collaborator for a period of one month.
The program is designed for post-doctoral mathematicians in the early stages of their professional careers. It is designed to offer the opportunity for a ‘research sabbatical,’ a necessary complement to teaching and other academic duties for mathematicians desiring to also sustain a viable research program.
WORTH
The grant can cover for one month and only for the applicant:
Travel costs to the host institution (economy flight or equivalent) Please note that the flight will be booked and directly paid by the IMU Secretariat.
Accommodation expenses (monthly rent should not exceed 1,200 USD – in case you expect higher accommodation cost, please explain in your application the expected higher cost)
Travel health insurance
Basic living cost (daily allowance based on living cost of the visiting country/city, this amount includes the cost for public transport and all other living costs).
Visa costs
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must
Hold at the time of application a PhD in Mathematics,
Be based in a developing country at the time of application
Hold a position in a university/ research institution
Be in the early stages of their professional careers, more precisely: the applicants should not yet be of full professorial rank but have a working contract in a university/ college
Be under 40 years of age at the day of the application deadline.
The maximum age may be increased by up to three years in the case of an individual with a broken career pattern. This should be noted in the application together with the reason for the broken career pattern.
